Chapter 299: You can just be the examiner

Although he knew what was going on, Li Ji still knelt down for Li Zhi, his face full of "shaming" and said, "The old minister is incompetent, please punish His Highness the Crown Prince!"

When you are in the officialdom, you can’t help yourself!

Wang Ping'an sighed. People are floating in the officialdom, so how can they not be cut? Li Zhi stretched out his sword. As a minister, he naturally had to take the initiative to stretch his neck and let him cut it. It would be better to cut it!

He also looked ashamed and knelt down for Li Zhi and said, "Your Highness, this is not the business of Lord Li. It is all the fault of the minister. It is all the fault of the minister. The minister deserves to die!"

As he spoke, he took the hemp rope from his waist and looked around, wanting to find a crooked tree!

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "Wujian, what do you want to do with a rope? Is this your belt? How do you use hemp rope to tie your waist?"

Wang Ping'an didn't cry, but kept sobbing in his mouth. He still looked around. Suddenly he saw a big tree with a big branch coming out. He bowed to Li Zhi again, stood up, and walked towards the big tree!

Li Zhiqi said: "This is, what's wrong?"

Naturally someone next to him explained to him, saying: "Mr. Wang once said that if the diagnosis fails this time, he will take all the responsibility and break it by himself with the hemp rope tied around his waist!"

Li Zhi yelled and said, "Don't you just by yourself? Ah... stop him quickly!" He was so anxious now. He had made a contribution, but when he came, he became guilty. Isn't this a joke!

Several guards rushed forward, hugged Wang Ping'an, and shouted: "Mr. Wang, you must not commit suicide!"

Wang Ping'an struggled desperately and shouted: "Don't stop me, don't stop me, let me die. I have to be responsible, I have to take all the responsibility!"

Li Zhi also ran over, grabbed Wang Ping'an, and said anxiously: "No disease, I didn't blame you, I didn't blame you, how could you have the idea of ​​suicide? It's really not!"

The scholars behind them all thought to themselves: "Where do we want to go up and la la, and mentors don't want it!"

But Di Renjie thought to himself: "Brother, you won't be an official or a doctor in the future. It's good to act. You will definitely be a meal without you!"

After everyone's persuasion, Wang Ping'an stopped struggling and said to Li Zhi even more ashamed: "Your Highness, I... I..." I couldn't think of anything to say, so I might as well just say nothing.

Li Zhi pulled him aside and whispered: "The diagnosis is over. What are you here for? Everyone knows this. You are a smart person, so I won't explain much. Let's go to the village to talk!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "You are still sincere!" He also lowered his voice and said: "Yes, I understand, let's go into the village and talk!"

The two of them entered the village first, and everyone followed behind them. Wang Ping'an took Li Zhi to the courtyard where he lived, and went into the house to close the door. He said, "Your Highness, why did you come into the village in person? In fact, when we leave the village, you will go out of the city and enter the city with us. The effect is the same. Why bother entering the village? You have to stay for at least two days. There is nothing here!"

Li Zhi yelled and said, "Do you think I am willing? It's all... Alas, you don't understand some things if you say them!" Although he regarded Wang Ping'an as his confidant, Li Ke's affairs involved royal housework after all, and he was hard to say.

After a sigh, both of them stopped talking and the room fell into silence.

After a long time, Li Zhi said, "Not sick, after you go back this time, your father will be granted a marquis for you. What fief do you want? Let me tell you, "Gou will ask your father on your behalf, and you will most likely be able to get it!"

Wang Ping'an was delighted. He wanted to tell him which fiefdom he wanted. There was no doubt that he wanted Xuzhou. It was like walking in the middle of wealth and prosperity. Who knew? This was the famous saying of King Chu. Although it was a bit ostentatious, it expressed what the world thought!

He was not polite and said directly: "I want to go back to my hometown. No matter how sweet the water in the other country is, it is not as good as the one in my hometown!"

Li Zhi frowned and said, "Xuzhou? This is not possible. Even the princess of the royal family can only be granted one county. You are familiar with Yuchi Gong. He is both a Duke and has made great achievements, but he does not have a fief. He only has the title of hereditary governor, which can be passed on to his descendants in the future. It is already a great reward for you to have a fief of a county. It is impossible to be a fief of Xuzhou!"

Wang Ping'an said, he didn't quite understand the system of titles in the early Tang Dynasty. He wanted Xuzhou as soon as he opened his mouth, and his appetite was indeed a little bigger. He said: "You can inherit the title of governor, what does that mean?"

Li Zhi was stunned, no, you don’t even know this! Shaking his head, he said, “Yuchi Gong is the governor of Xuanzhou, his descendants are hereditary, and he is also the governor of Xiazhou. This is a real-time job, but he does not take office in the local area. Instead, he is the three departments of Kaifuyi in the court and participate in the government affairs. Therefore, others call him the general, but they do not call him the governor!”

He pointed to Wang Ping'an and said, "This is the same as you. Although your children and grandchildren cannot inherit the governor, they have the fief of Zheliu County. Your dispatch is the imperial physician order. This can be promoted to the right after returning to the capital. As for participating in the government affairs, you cannot, but you are a bachelor of Chongxianguan!"

Only then did Wang Ping'an realize that there were so many statements in the officialdom that there were three positions for the same person as an official, which was really confusing!

He said, "Can you inherit a governor or something, such as the governor of Xuzhou?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "That must be a Duke. Even if you are granted a title, you are just a marquis. You have never made any military achievements. How can you be granted a Duke?"

Seeing Wang Ping'an showing disappointment, Li Zhi hurriedly said, "You don't have to be depressed. It's easy to earn more blessings for your children and grandchildren. Just be a one-size-fits-all-in-one-sided-Zheliu County and become a marquis of Zheliu County. Although Zheliu County is outside the pass, it is the most wealthy and has a large area on the Silk Road. Maybe it will be promoted from county to prefecture in the future. In this way, your children and grandchildren will not be the same as the hereditary governor!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Hang Qing'er, you don't know what chaos is in Zheliu County, but you thought it was a good place!" He said: "Your Highness, can you change the state? It's better to change it to the one in the pass, or a smaller one!"

Can such a thing be bargained? If it were Li Shimin, he would have slapped him with a big mouth, making Wang Ping'an sober, but in front of him was Li Zhi. Li Zhi felt quite unbearable when he saw Wang Ping'an's distressed face.

Li Zhi said: "This orphan is not able to dominate. Otherwise, you will be promoted to Marquis of Zheliu County and then serve as the governor of Shazhou. In this way, in the future... one day, when the orphan has the final say, even if you are transferred to the level of the pass, you will still be the governor. Then find a reason to let your children and grandchildren be hereditary, that's it!"

Wang Ping'an nodded, a little twisted, but his descendants could at least be on par with Yuchi Gong's descendants. That's almost the same. As a human being, you have to be content and have a long and happy life!

He asked, "Shazhou, where is that place? Is it far from Zheliu County?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Of course not far away. You may not know Shazhou. After all, it is a name that has been changed in recent years. Just say Dunhuang. Shazhou is Dunhuang!"

Wang Ping'an said, it turns out that Shazhou is Dunhuang, which is a good place. It is an important stop on the Silk Road, so rich!

When he was happy, he naturally even claimed thanks to Li Zhi. Li Zhi was also very happy. If he made others happy, he would be happy. Like Wang Ping'an, he was a person who was often sent to good people cards!

After they talked for a while, Wang Ping'an got the benefits, so he naturally had to flatter Li Zhi and slapped him. Both the king and his minister were in a good mood and each got what he needed!

Shikeng Village is too small and there is no longer enough people to live in. The soldiers built many sheds outside the village for scholars and villagers to live in. This time, Li Zhi came too suddenly, and it was too late to build a shed. The guards took action and built dozens of simple sheds. Anyway, they only stayed for two or three days, so they could just deal with it!

That night, Li Ji pretended to have an asthma attack and lay in his house to "rehabilitate" and refused to come out. Wang Ping'an ordered to put down a few big cows and held a grand bonfire party beside the village. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the palace guards came to Shikeng Village for guidance, warmly welcomed and had a drink and meat treat!

I ate and drank a lot, and I was so bleak that I was so dizzy! During the banquet, those who could sing sing, those who could dance dance, those who could play big swords would sing with big swords, and those who could yelled and cheered, and everyone had a great time having fun!

Li Zhi never had such pleasure. There was no father and uncle in charge or ministers here. He was either a group of big and thick military men or a group of literati and poets who thought that unruly was a virtue. He could drink whatever he wanted and shout whatever he wanted!

Although there were no palace maids here, Li Zhi held Wang Ping'an's shoulders. He drank a lot and said with a red face: "No sickness, I am a good dear. Most of all, have you made any good poems recently? Read it to Gu!"

Wang Ping'an didn't drink too much. When he heard Li Zhi say this, he immediately glanced at the scholars around him. Seeing that all the scholars looked here, his eyes showed a look of expectation. I guess they all wanted to take this opportunity to show their talents to His Highness the Prince!

Since everyone is so eager, we naturally have to leave the opportunity for everyone. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun! Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Your Highness, my aunt has been busy with dialectics these days, and she is so busy that she has no mood to write poetry. If you have free time to write poetry, wouldn't it prove that my aunt has not worked hard to do things and has let down your nobleman... that kind of good intention!"

Li Zhi whined, tilted his head, and it was right to think about it. This explanation seemed to be understandable. He sighed and said, "It's such a pity. I really want to listen to your poem!"

Wang Ping'an pointed at the scholars and smiled and said, "But others don't need to do dialectics, especially the candidates next year, who will hurry up and study poetry carefully to prepare for next year's exam. How about letting them write poems for His Highness to evaluate?"

The scholars were very happy. The King Jue-secret is King Jue-secret. He is always so good at speaking and doing things. When he has the opportunity to show his face, he doesn't want it, but he gives it to everyone! Everyone's butts immediately moved towards Li Zhi, wanting to get close to the prince so that he can write a poem and give the prince a savor!

With a hiccup, Li Zhi burped and said, "Okay, then let's just compete in poetry and write a few more poems to compare the top and bottom. How about it?"

"Okay, your highness!" The scholars were overjoyed. They had nothing else to do these days, and they had just written poems. Everyone had a few good poems that they thought were wonderful, which could be taken out and displayed!

It’s not possible to beat the drum and release the boat, so just come straight away! A scholar stood up and shouted: “There is a villain…”

He stood up too quickly and stole the limelight from others. Someone in the dark said in a strange voice: "How many months have you done?"

The scholar replied casually without thinking: "It's been a month and a half!" He came to Shikeng Village for a long time and wanted to recite the poem he wanted to recite half a month ago. He added another month to show that he had been writing this poem for a long time, and was waiting to read it to His Royal Highness tonight!

But after he answered this sentence, everyone around the bonfire burst into laughter. Some laughed so hard that they were laughing, some clapping their hands and screaming, and some even whistling!

The scholar also understood that the taste had come, his face turned red, and he said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is here, please don't joke with everyone!"

Li Zhi didn't understand. He had never heard such a joke in the deep palace. He couldn't help but ask Wang Ping'an: "Why do they want to laugh? Is this a joke? Where is it ridiculous?"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "He is not a woman, how can he have it!"

Li Zhi was stunned, and then he thought about the past. He couldn't help laughing and said, "How come you have it, how come you have it? You have to tell me a good thing!"

The scholar was a little embarrassed and spread his folding fan on the ground and recited a seven-character quatrain. His words were gorgeous, and he said something. It was all about things, which meant that his poem was full of flattery and he slapped Li Zhi heavily!

After hearing this, Li Zhi was overjoyed. Few people wrote poems to praise him. He nodded and said, "It's indeed a good poem, it's not bad!"

Wang Ping'an also nodded repeatedly, commented a few casually, only picking up good ones!

The scholar looked around the field proudly, then sat down again, held the folding fan and fanned the air, making a chic and dashing manner!

Another scholar rushed to stand up and wrote a poem. The words became more gorgeous and the flattery became more loud. It was a five-character poem with eight sentences, which not only flattered Li Zhi, but also patted Wang Ping'an's!

Li Zhi was even more happy, letting go of Wang Ping'an's shoulders, clapping his hands constantly, wanting to comment, but he didn't know how to comment!

Wang Ping'an quickly shared the worries of the prince, commented heavily on the scholar's poems, praising the scholar's poems well!

After that, the scholars rushed to stand up, and each of them wrote at least a poem, flattering and flattering!

Wang Ping'an had to comment on every poem, which made him dry and hoped that the flattery conference would end quickly. The scholars' poems were endless, but their spit was almost dry!

The more Li Zhi listened, the happier he became. He said, "No illness, the candidates do good poetry, your comments are better. What's rare is that you can comment on a few sentences in each poem so that I can understand it. You have greater ability!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's just following your wishes. They flatter you with poems, and I'll explain it again in vernacular. What kind of ability can this be considered!"

Li Zhi was full of excitement and suddenly said, "No disease, your literary talent is so good. Why not take the scientific examination next year, just be the chief examiner!"
Chapter completed!
